Update: Tonight’s RIGOP Meeting Has Been Postponed

Posted on August 29, 2011 by The Ocean State Republican

Apparently, Irene was a Democrat… :)

From RIGOP Executive Director Patrick Sweeney:

The meeting of the RIGOP State Central Committee scheduled for tomorrow night, Monday, August 29, 2011, in Warwick is CANCELLED and will be rescheduled.

It is questionable whether the original venue will have power tomorrow evening. Additionally, many members of our Committee are dealing with utility outages of uncertain and varying durations, work disruptions, family issues, and clean-up work.

Thank you for your patience, we will reschedule this meeting without disrupting our goal of voting on the “Primary Election” question as soon as possible.

Thank you,

RIGOP

P.S. Please note that the RIGOP Executive Committee is scheduled to meet at 7:00 PM on August 11th in Warwick. The main item on the agenda for that meeting relates to our efforts regarding the qualifications for voting in the 2012 Republican primary.  Therefore, if you are a RIRA member who is also a member of the RIGOP Executive Committee, you are asked to attend the RIGOP meeting first, then to come to the RIRA meeting immediately afterward. We’ll keep the lights on for you…
